Who We Are
Friends of Warren County Parks and Rec is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting athletics, recreational programming, and other major parks projects in Warren County.
This public-private partnership was established to provide new opportunities for fundraising and community support, while making the sponsorship and donation process as simple as possible for WCPRD partners and supporters. FWCPR's 501(c)(3) status also ensures that individual and corporate sponsors can take full advantage of available tax deductions for the charitable contributions.
